Review: Mujjo capacitive touchscreen gloves for iPhone and iPad

"Mujjo capacitive touchscreen gloves are amust-have for any serious iPhone or iPad user caught in a cold, wintery climate."

Why have I instantly fallen in love with Mujjo's capacitive touchscreen gloves for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad? It's simple, really. I live in Canada where it's routinely been -20 celsius for the last couple of weeks -- so cold that when you go outside your face freezes and the last thing you want to do is pull off your nice warm gloves just to use your iPhone while out and about. You'd rather miss a call, wait to answer a text, or forget about looking something up on the web than risk the frostbite inducing winds and bone chilling snow. But with Mujjo, I don't have to give up my multitouch just to stay warm -- thanks to the capacitive carry-through, I can slide to unlock and tap away all from within the comfort of my gloves.

Unlike some iPhone-friendly gloves, Mujjo doesn't just weave capacitive thread into the thumb and forefinger, but they're made of high-quality silver-coated nylon fibers knitted into the fabric of the glove. The entire gloves! You can tap away with any finger you like. You can tap away with your knuckles, palm, ridge of your hand -- literally any part of the glove. That makes it so much easier to use in the cold weather and is a huge advantage over other gloves. The only downside is that they made two-sizes fits all, and I have fairly small hands so even the smaller size is a little loose on me, and I need to push a little harder to make the capacitive connection than I expect someone with larger hands might.

Wearing the Mujjo, I could do everything I needed to do with my iPhone, including making and answering phone calls, texting, and surfing the web at about 80% of my normal speed.

I just got myself a nice wool coat and scarf over the weekend, but I'm more particular when it comes to gloves just because of my iDevices that I use when I'm out and about. I've tried North Face's and a few other brands that have the capacitative touch feature, but they're either only on the thumb and pointer finger, look or feel ugly to match, and/or they're obnoxiously expensive.
These Mujjo gloves look like a perfect compliment, so I'd love to win one. Otherwise, I'll probably buy it if I can find them locally.

Thanks to the 4S and my headphones with an inline mic I can reach in my pocket, hold down the home button until Siri pops up, and then make a call or do other voice activated things all without taking my gloves off or even taking the phone out of my pocket. I think that's pretty neat and it's helpful in a Massachusetts winter. All the same, a pair of these gloves would be pretty sweet.

Awesome, I'd love one of these!! I live in Montana and it gets real cold here, it's about -9 right now lol and I hate when I'm out in the cold and I have to take my gloves off to use my phone!! Hope I get one!! :)

My son's been trying to "create" his own pair of capacitive gloves for quite some time, as he's been disappointed with the sparse offerings we have around here. These sound like they'd be PERFECT for him! Small hands for now, but he'll grow into 'em... ;)

I have looked and looked at gloves that have the silver tips on the thumb and index finger but never wanted to get them because of that... these are like stealthy touchscreen gloves so no one will know how hooked I am on using my devices in the cold!

Would love a pair for these. I take my girlfriend to work everyday and have to be out at 5am...I have to keep in touch with her do she knows if I'm coming or running late. The steering wheel is always cold...and always killing my hands...heater is just not enough. Help!!! ;D

So, is there a better option for people with small hands? I've been wanting to get my wife a pair of capacitive gloves for a while now, but she's very small and I don't want to buy these if there's a better option.

Would love a pair of these have seent he modification of other gloves but in california most days you can get away with fingerless gloves. But I know in other palaces full gloves would be great for really cold weather

Thanks for the great review (both written and video), Georgia! These look like fantastic gloves for using my iPhone 4 while outside in the cold. Hope I win one of the ten pairs! (I'd need the larger of the 2 one-size-fits-all sizes available). :)

I live in Michigan, close to Canada, close enough to freezing my buns off. Every morning I sit in a frozen vehicle while it warms up with one glove on and one glove off so I can turn on the nav app (Waze) and prepare for the drive to work. Sure would be nice to have two warm hands and still be able to turn use the iPhone.
